Bargain price for over-engineered mostly synthetic shoes (made in China) from One Planet. Great local brand, hope they can stay in business. These were on sale for $149 for a fair while. Bought a pair at that price & happy with them.

Current sizes available for the Cross Track are EUR37-42 & EUR47.
From memory, I think One Planet may have dropped their normal free shipping threshold for this deal.

edit - removed reference to the Cobbler boots as they are still available.

update 7/12/24 - Only sizes EUR37 & EUR39 remaining.

    how are they a great local company with manufacturing in China

    • Kumart on 06/12/2024 - 16:43

      They still do some manufacturing here and do repairs locally.

      Making them in Australia would cost more than making them in Italy where the best are made. At least designing them in Australia for sale only through an Australian company and shops keeps some money here that otherwise would go straight to China or to an international conglomerate.
      One Planet manufactures the vast majority of its products in Australia.

        Italy are B tier at high quality footwear at best.

        • imurgod on 06/12/2024 - 20:11

          Italian footwear is easily top tier.

          You have to spend some money for that level though.

          • japes on 06/12/2024 - 21:02

            @imurgod: What manufacturer's are we talking here?

            • imurgod on 06/12/2024 - 21:15

              @japes: There are many. Bontoni, Zegna, Ferragamo, etc.
              Even 124 Shoes (in Melbourne but Italian shoemakers) are amazing.

              • japes on 06/12/2024 - 22:28

                @imurgod: All average quality but massively overpriced.

                Enzo Bonafe is up there, sure.

                • imurgod on 07/12/2024 - 12:20

                  @japes: I've had great experience with all of them.

                  What quality issues do you find with them?

                  • japes on 07/12/2024 - 20:27

                    @imurgod: They're fashion brands, and whilst they do ooze style and are decently constructed (mostly welted, but often to a price point), they just arent top tier in the footwear game.

                    • imurgod on 07/12/2024 - 22:26

                      @japes: The construction varies. I have a fair few and they differ in construction but I can say that I've had no issues and they are comfortable as anytning I've worn.

                      Do you recommend any brands that I should look at?

                      • japes on 08/12/2024 - 01:39

                        @imurgod: Completely depends on what you're after and what you want to spend. Like it's very hard to go past Italy for sleek lasts/loafers.

                        I'm more into boots around that $500-600 mark and a bit past it.

                        • imurgod on 08/12/2024 - 07:49

                          @japes: Wait, weren't you saying Italian shoes are tier B at best? I'm confused.

                          Anyway, any particular brands you recommend?

                          • japes on 08/12/2024 - 08:36

                            @imurgod: As far as proper high quality shoes go I'll stand by that comment. Again, entirely depends on style and pricepoint.

                            I love my Vibergs, Grant Stone's, Parkhurst's and even Thomas George Collection (Australian brand, manufactured in Vietnam by Fugashin Shoemaker but I think they're done), and don't mind a pair of RM's too, but these are mostly Service Boots/Chelseas so as far as a sleek loafer goes theyre not really comparable.

                            Is guess I'd recommend Carmina for affordable high quality footwear with sleek lasts? Not really my wheelhouse.

                            • imurgod on 08/12/2024 - 10:49

                              @japes: Hmmm you'll never convince me that Vietnamese craftsmanship will hold a candle to Italian craftsmanship but I haven't tried them so can't really comment.

                              Chelsea boots are not fashionable and everyone has RMs, which I have, are comfy and well made but, let's face it, ugly.

                              I do prefer stylish shoes so that's a factor for me and Carmona make very nice shoes in my price range too. Thanks for the tip.

                              Take a look at 124 Shoes next time, I think you'd like them.

                              Then again, I have so many shoes, I feel like Imelda! Ha ha

                              • japes on 08/12/2024 - 12:04

                                @imurgod: Fugashin don't exactly make RTW footwear, and you might be surprised by the quality coming out of SEA, including Indonesia (eg. Onderhound). Better than Ferregamo's (who produce some absolute garbage, despite the history), that's for sure.

      • mrdean on 06/12/2024 - 17:33

        As much as I like One Planet, they have shifted production of most of the gear to Asia. The core range of backpacks are made here, but the tents & sleeping bags are asia. This wasn't always the case back in their early days. Having said that, unlike brands like Rivers, One Planet do seem to spec their asia products higher than anyone else. The build quality of the shoes is rugged & solid, but they are also very synthetic in looks & feel.

      • poohduck on 07/12/2024 - 11:22

        italian shoes / walking boots etc are long and skinny. Awesomely made serious walking boots, but they're all too tight for me. The boots made for the asian market are much wider in the toe box.

      • JTTheMan on 07/12/2024 - 12:28

        I’ve heard Italian factories are now full of Chinese immigrants

        I think the most complex and expensive part of this shoe are the Vibram soles (designed in Italy, most likely made in China).
        Unfortunately, "Designed in Straya" probably means that they just mixed and matched various options from an alibaba catalog.

        • Sammyboy on 06/12/2024 - 20:20

          Going through the alibaba manufacturer and product lists must be what the PR department would describe as the local "R&D" 😆

      Majority of their other product is made locally.

      This and several other low cost items are made in China. They are white label products, a generic item from a mega factory with a local brand glued onto the side.

      • andresampras on 06/12/2024 - 17:21

        Oh dear

      • Huzi on 07/12/2024 - 16:18

        They're not white label and not generic. One planet designed them and then got a factory to make them.

      Thank successive governments over the last fifty years for selling the country out to the globalists.

      At least One Planet are still trying to do the right thing by making some of their product here. And the products they do make overseas seem to be decently spec'd & made.

    Why do people often complain about Chinese-made products when local alternatives would cost up to five times more? While some Chinese products may have quality issues, many are just as good as locally made goods, but far cheaper due to lower manufacturing costs in China.

    The real issue we should be concerned about is the significant price markup by local businesses, who often charge 50-200% more for Chinese made products to make profit and sustain labor around the business and overhead costs. This creates frustration when consumers feel they’re being overcharged, especially when similar products can be imported at a fraction of the price.

    What’s hard to understand is why there's so much criticism towards Chinese-made items. The hostility seems disproportionate, especially when many global brands rely on Chinese factories for production. The focus should be on product quality and value, not just its origin.

      Why do people often complain about Chinese-made

      Same reason they complain about Amazon and how people should support local shop but comes Amazon black Friday sales…🙄

      I guess it makes them feel good like sending thoughts and prayers.

    • BusMan247 on 06/12/2024 - 18:43

      Only costs more because no one does it.

      China manufacturing isnt what it used to be rouce wise. Still cheap, but a factory here could do it. And if enough did it, price wojld come down.

      Not too dissimilar to if we actually user our iron ore instead of selling it for nothing to the chinese then buying it back as goods for 100x the price, and calling them polluters as a cherry on the aussie meringue

      Because China has basically 0 quality control you may get great quality one day then absolute crap the next. it's just not in their culture to make stuff properly everything is rush rush quantity over quality. Hopefully that changes butt is not there yet

      • Huzi on 07/12/2024 - 16:16

        That's a huge general statement. China is massive and has manufacturing facilities all over the spectrum. Do you thing apple has 0 quality control????

    They won't go out of buisness anytime soon. They're too large in the outdoor ed scene and infact in that side of the buisness they're growing. Their shoes are on clearance because they pretty average and they don't sell enough to make it worth their while especially since their consumer products make such a small percentage of their total profit. They're narrow in the forfoot and wide in the heal. For that price though, their pretty awesome.
